After Action Report

The Cavaliers took care of the Kings 133-119. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it
